Getting Even Somehow Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 3, 2017

The emotion that wells up within us to “get even” is about control, consequences, and vindication. Relational issues are never JUST relational issues!

The Christian life is a walk, it's a run, but never forget... it is a fight, and the warfare is real, and we get tired, but we cannot go to sleep. A sleeping saint is a powerless saint and is no threat to the devil.
